My question is to the Minister for Innovation, Industry, Science and Research, Senator Carr. Can the minister inform the Senate how the government is working with Australian businesses to help them manage through the global recession? Can the minister describe both the macroeconomic and the sectoral responses the government has made to improve business conditions? Can the minister explain how the government is meeting the immediate demands of the crisis whilst still pursuing its long-term nation-building agenda?
